"Hypnotic Circles" disappearing when reopening parameter files in Jux

[longvandyke]

Hi,

you need to upload attachments or insert images or link to a public url, not link to a drive, if my guess is right as to why your images aren't showing.

In general, parameter files should recreate the image exactly, but there are some exceptions. One possibility is that the low bailout needs increasing (turn Auto off) but that usually shows before saving the parameters. The precision and zoom limits for Julia minibrots are lower than for Mandelbrot and could be an issue. I can't tell without seeing the pictures and possibly a parameter file.

Hi Garth – thanks. I uploaded the images at about the same time you responded, I think. Adjusting the low bailout of the file does make circles show again, in the case of decreasing (the file loads at the maximum), but I don't see them returning to the positions in which they had been.

I've directly messaged you with a drive link containing the parameter files for the three images. But I've also added a fourth parameter file, called "Approaching Hypnotic Cluster". Zooming in on its centre shows the cluster of circles I was talking about. (Edit: but Auto low bailout has to be turned on).

And now, I have roughly reproduced the image, and noticed that rendering does not output what is shown in the preview. You can see that in the drive link as well; it is too large to post here.

I did notice that at that point I had zoomed so that the low bailout, set to auto, reached its maximum, and I kept zooming. Could this have had something to do with it?

Edit: Okay, I've read your updated response. The different exterior was a colour change on my part. I think I'm starting to see the behaviour: turning auto off and momentarily adjusting zoom level seems to reveal whether the circles will disappear, and this seems to be connected to having adjusted the zoom level to a point where bailout is no longer visibly increasing automatically. I suppose the innocence toward the purpose of bailout may have contributed to its creative use.
